SilkWorm
2100
The essential
element to create an entry-level SAN
SilkWorm 2100 Data Sheet (PDF)
The Brocade SilkWorm 2100 provides a high-speed interconnection
for a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL). An alternative to a
hub-based solution, the SilkWorm 2100 enhances performance due to
its true switching environment, provides 800 megabytes-per-second
(MB/sec) aggregate bandwidth, and increases availability through
better fault isolation. The switch is ideally suited for Storage
or Server Area Network (SAN) environments with hosts and devices
supporting loop configurations.
The SilkWorm 2100 provides
investment protection, as the switch can be easily upgraded to
full Fabric support. It becomes a full fabric switch by simply
upgrading switch software via a license key. A Fabric serves as an
intelligent connectivity infrastructure for constructing the SAN.
With the Fabric upgrade option, the SilkWorm 2100 has the full set
of features available to Brocade's high-end SilkWorm switch
family.
